help on guitars

hey im sorta new and this is my first day on forumsi am looking for an electric guitar, since i don't have oneand equiptment to go along(amp, etc..)and i have 600$ to spendi play literaly everythingmetal, rock, punk, indie, classic,classical, blues, funk, regge, etci have been asked to play in a decent bandwhat should i go for

If you want to play EVERYTHING, then I would suggest strat. Plus, they're easy to upgrade or switch out parts if there's something you don't like about it. Epi Les Pauls are good, but they're better for hard rock than for classical or cleaner stuff. Strats, though, can do it all, even coming close to Les Paul sounds with the right pickups and stuff.
